GT, GT, Gt! were the chants resonating from the lips of Guyana’s supporters Sunday night after the local male volleyball team grounded the hosts in four sets to win the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) gold medal game here in Paramaribo, Suriname.

The visiting team felt right at home as the boisterous fans transformed the Ismay Van Wilgen Sporthal into a partisan support base that helped to elevate the high flying players.

Guyana’s victory came by set scores of 25-17, 17-25, 25-20 and 25-17, the last punctuated by a bludgeoning spike by Captain Yoganand Dhoray.

Dhoray led the way with a team high 10 kills and three assists.
